WMS Inspector provides a set of tools for integrators and developers that work with the Web Map Service (WMS) standard. It aims to ease repetitive tasks like debugging requests or checking which individual services are used from an online mapping application. It also focuses on provide a user-friendly output of the different services’ capabilities.

A blog about 3 people who dove into the P90X Workout head first. They give daily P90x Reviews of the workout and post weekly pictures of their progress.

The Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) has published three new related 3d Geoweb candidate standards as public discussion papers (DP) on its website (see link below). These are: The Web 3D Service (W3DS), The Web View Service (WVS), and an extension profile of the Symbology Encoding Specification for 3D (SE 3D) These establish a new family of 3D portrayal services focusing on virtual 3D maps, interactive virtual environments, and 3D cartographic visualization.

Agencies find that fusing webs of remote sensors with geospatial management systems is the next best thing to being there

A particular focus of this paper is dedicated to interoperable geo-sensor webs featuring a high degree of flexibility and portability can be deployed in various monitoring use cases in a variety of application domains

Working with NASA’s Short-term Prediction Research and Transition Center, the SMART team is developing a sensor web-enabled processing workflow to intelligently assimilate Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) satellite temperature and moisture retrievals into a regional configuration of the Weather Research and Forecast model over the southeastern United States. The SMART workflow involves mining North American Mesoscale forecasts for interesting weather phenomena, then determining whether AIRS observations are coincident with the detected weather events. The assumption is that assimilating AIRS observations of anomalous weather conditions will improve the forecast and is worth the extra computational cost; whereas, if there is no significant weather there is no advantage to assimilating additional data and not worth the extra computational cost. A variety of SWE protocols are used for data access and alert services, and for process chain definition.
